It may still be Winter, but Spring is just around the corner. (At least, that’s what retailers would have us believe.) Welcome the warm weather with clean basics and a bright splash of color. Here’s how to get the crisp Spring look:

1. Start with a crisp buttondown shirt. If you’re bold, try a bright color (like this slim striped red shirt).2. So as to make the bright shirt the focus of the outfit, pair the shirt with a pair of dark pants. Dark rinse, straight leg jeans will always do the trick.3. Toss on a lightweight trench to complete the outfit. Note how the bright shirt really pops against the sand colored trench. 4. Accessorize with a pair of comfy loafers and a quality work bag. With the sand colored trench and the bright shirt, brown shoes create the perfect pairing. Black accessories would be too imposing on such a light outfit.
